The Meaning of
Material
The word “material”
has two meanings.
The first meaning of material
is physical and literal. Material means
what something is made out of. Cotton
fabric, wood, paper, plastic, and metals are examples of material. For example, the materials used to build a
house include wood, brick, and concrete.
The second meaning of
material is mental and figurative.
Material refers to information.
When someone says that they are gathering material, they are not getting
something physical, they are looking for information. You can go out to find information, such as
interviewing people, or gather your informational material through other sources
such as books and the internet.
